How much does Yahoo charge for MS, Google?

Microsoft may not get anything from Yahoo, Google may go away empty-handed but there are some who benefit from this 'love triangle'.

According to company documents submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, the Internet logo said it paid outside consultants a total of $ 110 million for services related to negotiations with the company. Microsoft software and Google search giant.

Microsoft told Yahoo on February 1 that it was interested in buying Yahoo for $ 43 billion. Yahoo has postponed negotiations to try to push up selling prices - taking a bold step with its rival Google. Finally, Microsoft announced that it would stop pursuing Yahoo, and Google, after the pressure of protests from authorities, the consumer group canceled its alliance with Yahoo. And now, Yahoo is asking Microsoft to buy back.

The entire Microhoogle case (Microsoft - Yahoo - Google) now has enough material to write a slick play that resulted in a mess of Yahoo created. But even Google and Microsoft may leave the negotiating table with a bit of damage and can hardly be described as winners. If someone wins, look at the consultants. 110 million USD is not a bad remuneration.
